**Pancastikaya Prabhruta**
349
The consequence of raga (attachment) and dvesha (aversion) is moha (delusion), which is distinct from the supreme self, characterized by the absence of the network of vikalpa (false perceptions) and the presence of qualities like pure self-awareness. Or, it is the consequence of moha (delusion). Again, what is not present in the yogi? The consequence of yoga is the activity of mind, speech, and body, which is the opposite of the nature of the supreme self, characterized by the absence of the karma-kanda (actions) of auspicious and inauspicious karma, and the presence of the jnana-kanda (knowledge) in the form of pure, inactive, and conscious evolution. This is the material for meditation. Now, the definition of meditation is stated.
**Tassuhasuhadhano jhanamo jaayade agani** - For him, the fire of meditation arises, characterized by the power to burn the fuel of auspicious and inauspicious karma, which is the result of the wonder of inactive and pure consciousness. Thus, just as even a small fire burns a large pile of grass and wood in a short time, so too, the fire of meditation, ignited by the great wind of the abandonment of the false views and kshaya (passions), and nourished by the ghee of extraordinary joy and happiness, burns the pile of karma-fuel, which is different from the root and other natures, in a moment.
Here, the disciple says: "Meditation does not exist in this age. Why? Because of the absence of the fourteen purva (previous scriptures) and the absence of the first samhana (assembly)."
The objection is countered: "There is no white meditation in this age. Thus, it is said in the Moksha Prabhruta by Sri Kundakunda Acharya:
"**Bharhe dussamakale dhammajhanam havei naniss. Tam appasahavavide na hu mannai so du annani**" "**Ajjavi tiyarana - Suddha appa jhaavi lahai indattan. Loyantiya devattan tasy chuda nivvudin janti.**"
Here, the reasoning is given: "If, in this age, there is no certain conduct as described in the scriptures, then let the ascetics practice the conduct of raga (attachment), which is devoid of restraint. Thus, it is said in the Tattvanusasana Dhyana Grantha:
"**Charitaro na santi adya yathakyatasya samprati. Tatkimanye yatha shakti macarantu tapodhanaha**"
What is said about the meditation of those who hold all the scriptures is a general statement. In the explanation of exceptions, however, only the knowledge of the scriptures that expound the five samiti (assemblies) and three gupti (secrets) leads to omniscience. If this is not the case, then how can the statement "**Tusasamsam dhoto tribhudi kevali jado**" and so on be true? Thus, it is said in the Charitrasara and other scriptures during the explanation of the five nirgratha (liberated) states, starting with the pulaka (hair-raising) state: "Those who attain omniscience after a moment are called nirgratha. Those who are in the state of kshaya (passions) are called nirgratha. Their knowledge of the fourteen purva is excellent, and their knowledge of the five samiti and three gupti, which are eight in number, is inferior.
What is said about the meditation that arises from the first samhana, which is called Vajravrishabhanaracha, is also a general statement. The explanation of exceptions is that for those who are in the state of the highest qualities, the white meditation is a rule, but it is not a prohibition for those who are in the lower states of qualities. It is not a prohibition for those who are in the lower states of qualities. Thus, it is said in the Tattvanusasana:
"**Anto natthi sudinam kalo thoo vayam cha dummeha. Tapanavari sikkhiyam jam jaramarana khayam kunai.**"
"**Yatpunarvajrakaayasya dhyanamityagame vacaha. Shrenyor dhyanam pratitiyoctum tannaathastannisedhakam.**"
Thus, knowing that meditation can be attained even with a small amount of scripture, one should accept the essence of the teachings, which is the purification of the self, the destruction of the samvara (restraint), the removal of the nirjara (decay), and the destruction of old age and death, and practice meditation. It is said:
